Lovers

If love was lost at sea then mourn its passing carefully
Some day when your heart subsides
Then give into the open tide
I set you apart, you are a girl of mystery
I set you apart from time and history
Waiting all her life
You have been spending your days all alone
Like a widow grieving
You hold onto the promise that you will see him again
Like lovers in the evening
Look softly into her eyes, a figure of bluish green
You are familiar as a lullaby
or an actress on the silver screen
For the open and great unknown
You're leaving your heart at home
Cruel and vast black waters
You leave behind your daughters
He regrets all his memories
And his soul is left to haunt the breeze alone
